TO discover beauty and wsken in 9th
ers @ sense of it, is second only to the
creative power which calls this beauty
into existence. Mr.. Burroughs, in his
article, among the Wild Flowers"
aided as Lis words are by beautiful illus
trs:ions, is calculated to direct many

NATURES pr9iuSion of loneliness, to 8
more intimate acquaintance with the
treasures which are along their pathway.
To those VINO Gre familiar with the fora
OF New England many a pictured flower
will recall botanical excursions among
the hills and rocks Of that region, aad
the fidelity of these Illustrations will so
iasten the peculiarly of each plant that
although strangers hitherto, the botauist

OF these flowers he may find in field or
wood. There are, in this number, copies

The last is certainly new
field for science, for although this form of
movement IS by 10 means rare, the field
has not been favorable for scientific inves-

upon it. There can be no question that
this mode OF Photography will be of inf

| THE AUDUBON MACAZINE-JuIy, Forcstand
stream Publishing Company, New York.
Our readers are doubtless appraised Of
the object of this publication, the design
! being TO create q healthy public senti-
ment against the wholesale slaughter OF
sOpgbirds, much of which is due to the
rage for smashed birds in millinery. How
any woman Of tender sensibihties can fnd
pleasure in such an ornament must re-
main q mystery. If this propensity is
checked much will be due the efforts Of
this magazine, which, by series of we'll
written articles is inspiring 8 feeling OF
/ loving interest in the fest1ered denizens
of our forest, akin to the spirit OF the
| great Audubon, who suffered aII dangers,
/ braved all dangers, that he might inform
himself of the habits Of the birds which
inhabit the forest Of this country and left,
ss the result of his labor of life, work
on OrnithOlOgy unsurpassed for fidelity of
information and beauty of illustration.

New York.
This is monthly devoted to women
and their interests IN the world and in
their homes, snd especially the advocate
of tie new dress reform instituted by
Mrs. Miller.
More foItunste than Mrs. BIoomer, the
new apostle does not require martyrdom
from her disciples, but hiss the good
sense to appeal to woman through their
love of beauty and grace. The costumes
she devises are models Of ease, some
fashioned after the period of the con-
sulate, others following Greek models,
and although neither corset or hustle are
permissible, the flowing lines Of drapery
must meet the approval of the artist.
The object of the magazine is partly to
bring these fashions into notice, and to
attract leaders of style to the advantages
of the reform.
Aside from this, there is g good seIeC-

The frontiSpiece of this number is q

with the work Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.
